Morphology
inadmissibility = inadmissible (semi-transparent) = in + admiss + ible + ity
The structure 'in-' + 'admissible' + '-ity' clearly signals 'the state of not being admissible', but the Latinate stem and legal register may not be fully transparent to average learners.
Etymology
Inadmissibility breaks down into in- meaning 'not' and admit meaning 'to allow in' or 'to accept'. So, inadmissibility means 'not allowed in', like evidence a judge will not accept in court.
